15 Whan she was baptysed and hir housholde, she besoughte vs, and sayde: Yf ye thynke that I beleue on the LORDE, then come in to my house, and a byde there. And she constrayned vs.
16 It fortuned whan we wente to prayer, yt there met vs a damsel, which had a sprete of soythsayenge, and broughte hir master and mastresse greate vauntage with soyth sayenge:
17 ye same folowed Paul and vs, and cryed, and sayde: These men are the seruauntes of the most hye God, which shewe vs ye waye of saluacion.
18 This dyd she many dayes. But Paul was not content with it, and turned him aboute, and sayde vnto the sprete: I comaunde the in the name of Iesu Christ, that thou departe out of her. And he departed out at the same houre.
19 But wha hir master and mastresse sawe that the hope of their vauntage was gone, they toke Paul and Sylas, drue them in to the market place before ye rulers,
20 & broughte the vnto the officers, and sayde: These men trouble oure cyte, & are Iewes,
21 and preach an ordynaunce, which is not laufull for vs to receaue, ner to obserue, seynge we are Romaynes.
22 And the people rane on them, and the officers rente their clothes, and comaunded them to be beaten with roddes.
23 And whan they had beaten them sore, they cast the in preson, and commaunded the iayler, to kepe them diligetly.
24 Which whan he had receaued soch commaundement, he cast the in to the ynner preson, and put their fete in the stockes.
25 But at mydnight prayed Paul and Sylas, and praysed God. And the presoners herde them.
26 Sodenly was there a greate earth quake, so that the foundacions of the preson were shaken. And immediatly were all the dores open, & all their bondes lowsed
27 Wha the keper of the preson waked out of slepe, and sawe the preson dores open, he drue out his swerde, and wolde haue kylled him selfe: for he thoughte ye presoners had bene fled.
28 But Paul cryed loude, and sayde: Do thy self no harme, for we are all here.
29 He called for a lighte, and sprange in, and trembled, and fell at the fete of Paul and Sylas,
30 and broughte them out, and sayde: Syrs, what must I do, to be saued?
31 They sayde: Beleue on the LORDE Iesus, and so shalt thou and thy housholde be saued.
32 And they preached the worde of the LORDE vnto him, and to all that were in his house.
33 And he toke them to him in the same houre of the night, and wasshed their strypes. And immediatly was he baptysed, and all his.
